MirrorMask

An unexpectedly inventive, dreamlike, and thoughtful fantasy film — originally made for children, yet beloved by surrealism enthusiasts of all ages. The kind of movie that makes people ask, “What were the creators smoking?” Whatever it was, it clearly worked brilliantly.

A teenage girl’s mother falls gravely ill and is hospitalized. Furious at the world and unwilling to accept reality, the girl slips into a dark mirror-world inhabited by the strangest, most sinister, and most wondrous creatures imaginable. Only by wandering through the labyrinths of this mysterious realm does she become capable of helping not only her mother, but, above all, herself.
